So you get a good Assensing roll and determine the exact Rating of a spirit. How do you go about communicating that information in-character? I can't see a combat mage turn to his allies and say "That's a Force Five air spirit." Okay, maybe if he's a hermetic with a strict scientific paradigm, but what about others? How does a Christian theurge identify that same Force 5 air spirit? How do you ask for Rating 4a skillwires? Do corporations have brand names that correspond to ratings and grades?
